Keanu's directorial debut came in the form of 2013's Man of Tai Chi, a China-US martial arts film production for which he spent over a year in China. Other than directing, Keanu also played the film's antagonist and had a hand in heavily revising the original script. The film received mostly average-to-positive reviews praising it as a competent work from a first-time director. 47 Ronin, which came out in December, had a much colder response and ended up being one of Universal Studio's biggest flops - due in large part to creative conflicts amongst the filmmakers that led to multiple last-minute changes and reshoots.

Keanu meanwhile ventured onto Reddit to do not one but two AMAs (Ask Me Anything), in which he fielded questions about his work and life from an enthusiastic audience of thousands.

2014 closed with the release of action-flick John Wick, widely acknowledged to be one of Keanu's best movies in years. The media has been declaring his return, and with a huge line-up of new films and TV shows for 2015 and beyond... yeah, we're thinkin' he's back.
